Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure provides meroduplex ribonucleic acid molecules (mdRNA) capable of decreasing or silencing VEGFA, VEGFB, VEGFC, FIGF, or PGF gene expression. An mdRNA of this disclosure comprises at least three strands that combine to form at least two non-overlapping double-stranded regions separated by a nick or gap wherein one strand is complementary to a VEGF mRNA. In addition, the meroduplex may have at least one 5-methyluridine, locked nucleic acid, 2'-O-methyl, or optionally other modifications, and any combination thereof. Also provided are methods of decreasing expression of a VEGF gene in a cell or in a subject to treat a VEGF-related disease.
